The stretch and contraction om getting on some of these exercises are beyond crazy.
Gaining strength and just feeling great over all!

I posted this in the Brexit thread as well. But i got an update on my replacement package from Powermyself.

It arrived in Sweden last tuesday (23rd february) and yesterday I got a letter in the mail from the customs office.
In that they asked for the following:
  • Copy of the invoice, order, paypal payment etc
  • List of ingredients of all the products
  • URL of site I ordered from
So im sending that over to them and then we will see what happens after that!

Dude that’s an insane amount of crap to jump through just to get a few supps delivered. Especially when I compare it to here - pay an extra few dollars and get protein, supps, even hormonal products shipped to home within a day or two, or at least less time than it took them to write and then send that letter to you

It's great that you seem to be progressing so nicely on every workout.
I think a lot of people who haven't trained as long as you have may not realize how incredible it is that at your level you're making progress like every single workout.

Its fun when small changes makes such drastic impacts. But ive noticed that because i am so strict small changes are usually all I need to make improvment in one area or the other.

Made some small tweaks to the rep schemes on some exercises today. More spesifically the single arm triceps movments. I felt that it would be better to keep the rep range 12-20 on those as going heavy just made me loose muscle contact. The result was a crazy pump!

Had a terrible night of sleep tonight. Woke up at 04.30 because my left calf cramped up something fierce. Thats the same foot that i have th einflamed achilles tendon as well. Perfect start to a day where i was training legs as well haha.

But i got thru the workout with lots om PRs so it went above expectations.

Tonight is my refeed and Im planning on making cookies! I see @The Solution post about his Stacced cookies and i get jealous. Ive also seen Juan Morels mycookiedealer on IG and they also look amazing. But we dont have anything like that here in Sweden, so im going to try to make my own! Wish me luck!

You don’t have a local bakery?
Well, i live in a small "town" in the northern part of Sweden. We have 1 bakery in town and they dont make cookies haha. Only place i can find cookies is at Subway... Its the same with Donuts. There is one store that carries it and they only have 3 flavours where one is filled... If i want it i gotta make it!

And to be fair, Staccced cookies arent "normal" cookies hehe.

Finally got to try my new arm blaster out and ive missed using one!
Workout was incredible and i know why, i made cookies!

203171
203172


203174


I got 8 cookies out of the dough and made each one different.
  • Chocolate Chip Cookie
  • Double Chocolate Chip
  • Snickerdoodle
  • Peanut Butter Cookie
  • Nutella Cookie
  • Oreo Stuffed Cookie
  • Gingerbread Stuffed Cookie
  • Biscoff Stuffed Cookie
All of them tasted amazing! I didn’t finish them all as they came out at around 700-800 kcal per cookie.
I mean I can eat, but that would put me into a coma!

Finally got to try my new arm blaster out and ive missed using one!
Workout was incredible and i know why, i made cookies!

View attachment 203171View attachment 203172

View attachment 203174

I got 8 cookies out of the dough and made each one different.
  • Chocolate Chip Cookie
  • Double Chocolate Chip
  • Snickerdoodle
  • Peanut Butter Cookie
  • Nutella Cookie
  • Oreo Stuffed Cookie
  • Gingerbread Stuffed Cookie
  • Biscoff Stuffed Cookie
All of them tasted amazing! I didn’t finish them all as they came out at around 700-800 kcal per cookie.
I mean I can eat, but that would put me into a coma!
Those look delicious. I would have ate every single one of those in one setting haha.

Back and biceps has always been my favorite day to train and with this program i love it even more!
Today the gym was empty, not a soul in there. Schools are out for winter holiday here so i guess nobody gets up that early to work out. Fine by me!

Working sets are taken to failure while maintaining perfect form.
For exercises with 2 work sets the thought is to hit failure in 2 different rep ranges.
First set 8-12, second set 15-20.

Thanks for the reply. Always looking for something different. Since I'm also in my 40's (44), I want to stay injury free too. Been using Meadows programs for a few years now.

Great workout today! Im at work now and my legs are shaking, so i did something right.
Tonight is a refeed and I havent really planned it out. But im having the rest of the cookies i made last saturday, im also having a couple of pints of ice cream. But I havent decided on the "food" part. It might be lasagne, pizza or home made sandwiches. Time will tell! Just thinking about it is making me hungry.

Sunday workouts are my favourite of the week. Because of the refeed the evening before and having the day off i can really spend some serious time at the gym and have energy for days. Strength, pump and energy was super high today!

Supplementation:
(Here i comment supplements im trying that arent part of my staple)

Anabolic Effect Week 9:
My workouts continue to improve and im feeling great.
Always sad when you open the last bottle, BUT there will be more AE in the future.

M-Test Week 1:
Thats right! Now we are cooking with fire here. AE and M-Test Stack ftw!
Ive only ever run AE and M-test solo before so this should be alot of fun.
The effect i noticed the first week was more morning wood (tmi i know) and increased aggression at the gym.
Both are in line with what i experienced when i ran my 1 bottle of M-Test before this AE run.​

For the last i dunno 6-7 years ive been wearing a Fitbit to track my steps, sleep, calories etc. But now it was time to level up, so I went and ordered a Whoop 3.0 strap. This is aso a fitness tracker, but it will give me much more data to work with.

It needs 4 days to calibrate to my body and after that it will give me more and more accurate metrics the longer i wear it. I got it last night and have been wearing it since then. It gave me some crazy Slow Wave and REM sleep the first night. But that can be because its calibrating.

203364


It measures HRV, RHR, Respitory Rate and Sleep. Then it will crunch it in different algorithms and give me a Recovery score and a Strain score. Which i can use to see how my body is reacting to what i am doing.

203365


It also has a Journal function that helps track behaviour and see over time how this affects your recovery. Im hoping that down the line i can use this as a way to see how different supplements and diet choices affect my body.

Thte Whoop showed a better Recovery score today, improved all my readings as i expected it would as its getting to know how my body reacts to sleep and training.

203376


It is still calibrating so we will have to see where it ends up in a month or two. But i found the caloric expenditure compared to my Fitbit interesting.

203377
203378


1000 calories difference is pretty high!
I suspect the correct number is somewhere in between.
Again, will be interesting to see how it changes as it gets to know me.

I may have to look into the Whoop. The interface for the data it provides looks pretty slick.

Felt strong and energized today. Back and biceps is my favorite day of the week so it is alway easy to get outta bed for this one.

Had a good night sleep but our puppy managed to pee the bed TWICE. So we had to get up and change the sheets twice haha. But i still got a good recovery score from my Whoop. It only needs one more night of sleep now to have finished calibration for my baseline. It will continue to collect data and refine its results onward. But tomorrow it should have enough data to be able to recommend a daily strain based on my recovery score.

Another fantastic workout. Dropped the bench press because i felt it in my shoulder last week and put in some good old Arnold Presses instead. Also added some seated shrugs to get some more size to the upper traps.

This was the fourth night wearing my Whoop and now it has enough data on me to build a baseline. That way the data it gets from me will become more and more personalized. Pretty happy with todays recovery score!

Arnold Presses are always fun to incorporate into shoulder day. I don't do them all the time but when I do add them in I feel it the next day for sure.

I like them because they arent a power movement so you dont have to go heavy. They also seem to incorporate more of the whole deltoid and not only the front.

Killer workout yet again. Been at work for 3 hours and my legs are still throbbing.

Recovery score was a bit lower than yesterday but I still was able to bring it 100% at the gym.

203431


I usually sleep in to 6am on saturdays, but the dogs woke me up at 5am and i felt fresh. So i went downstairs and made Brownies haha. Ive been craving them for a while and I wanted to have some when watching Falcon and The Winter soldier PLUS Justice League - Snyder Cut tonight.

I made 3 different ones:
  • Nutella Brownies
  • Peanut Butter Brownies
  • Oreo Brownies
203432


In addition im gonna head over to Subway and get four 6 inch subs. I havent decided 100% on which but I think they will be:
  • American Steakhouse Melt
  • Cheese and ham
  • Italian B.M.T
  • Subway Melt
But that can change when i get there!

Subway sandwiches go down so easy for me. I have heard their regular bread isn't considered bread because the sugar content is too high so it's technical cake. Not sure if that's fully true but that's what i heard. :ROFLMAO:

So this week i got "sabotaged" by my family as they all got the baking itch!
On monday my 18 year old son baked a apple pie!! He never does that, do of course I had to try it (and try it i did!).
Then on friday my fiance baked ME a nougat filled cake of some sort. I couldnt wait until saturday to eat it, so i had it on both friday AND saturday.
Then on sunday, thinking the danger was over. My son AGAIN baked a apple pie, as he wasnt satisfied with the last one...
I fucking love cake though!

So i ended up deloading this week, that why i didnt log any workouts.
I was feeling a bit run down so i reduced my volume and didnt go to failure on any sets.

Recovery:
(Sleep measured with my Fitbit Blaze that I wear all day and night)

203687


Tried to get extra sleep to recover buuut in the end it ended up much the same as always.

Supplementation:
(Here i comment supplements im trying that arent part of my staple)

Anabolic Effect Week 11:
Second to last week over and im positivt that the AE helped me recover faster during my deload.
Should be back stronger and more energized this week.

M-Test Week 2:
Now that i got my shipment from Powermyself I have M-Test for a couple of months. So im really looking forward to see how it works over a longer period. I have only ever done 1 month before, so im soon going to be in uncharted waters.

Random Thought
So i was reading this thread : First Cycle Advice (I want to cut) - AnabolicMinds.com
and instead of cluttering that one up with my thoughts i figured id write them here.
I write all my stats in metrics, but converted im around 6´2 and 185 Pounds.
In that thread the OP wants to diet down to around my size and comments are not exactly positive haha.

"You want to cut to 180 at 6'2"? "

"That’s really strange to me as well, why use steroids when when he can cut like a regular bulimic do and just stop eating 🤔 "

"Oh yeah that's the new fad, skinny and lacking any sort of posterior chain strength. "

Now i understand that in the context of steroid use to drop to that weight its probably a whole other ball game.
But damn, for a natty like me that have been training for 30 years. Hearing my stats adequate to that of a bulimic tells me that the results people are looking for are like light years a head of what ive achieved.
Knowing all the work and time ive put int my physique I cant even imagine how hard they must be working!

This is me last year when i cut down to 180 at 6'2.
So dont get to hung up in numbers, a physique can look good (even great) without being the heaviest.

I'm glad that you were able to enjoy some cake. Nougat cake sounds incredible.

As far as the other thread and what people are saying, just a couple of my thoughts in general are that people should encourage, not discourage; and that people get too attached to numbers (scale weight). For me, just trying to get back into things after a long layoff, people ask - what weight do you want to get to? Honestly, no idea. I need to put back on a lot of lost muscle and lose some fat so my goal is to look better and whatever weight I wind up at is where I wind up haha.
